I'd like to see his european movie sales vs his american sales. That and the "puttin' on airs" prentensious attitude of an outsider looking in (and down) burned my ass. Know your roots, boy!

The article said "until the political climate changes," so that means he was talking about the current administration and not Americans in general. And it's not the politicians that are making him money, it's the movie goers, and he never bitched about them. Finally, what's pretentious about criticizing a foreign country's government? He used to live here, after all, and I'm sure he's spent plenty of time here since he moved to France. I'd say he's in as good a position to speak his mind as any of us; the fact that we're still here doesn't make us special. Hell, if things keep going the way they are, I'm going to keep on blasting the US government long after I move to Britain.
